The texts I have made for my Katabasis book are all made a bit like I make Indian ink drawings. I write with as close to an empty open mind and after a little bit of fiddling they are either thrown out or accepted for the maybe-stack (I have a document where I keep the thrown outs as some of them just don't fit into the book, or... I might reconsider when reading them again - the same with drawings).

It only works with short form fiction of course. It is like opening oysters.

The drawings on the other hand is more like making a casserole.

The quote on page 5 (by Sylvia Plath) is an exception.

I put as much work into my flash fiction / art book as possible. Here are two preliminary double-page spreads.

Right now it roars ahead. I am making the mock up of the first many pages... every drawing need to have some bleed so that is going to be a bore, but ahead it runs. Pretty sure I can have a pdf ready before Christmas.

I still am not sure about all the stories and if I am to have 47 I still lack two in my master-doc. I have called it "tales" but just added something that is #genre wise definitely a poem. Doesn't matter I guess.

Here's the sketch as it looks right now.

If anybody are interested here's the current document - only the text.
